CBD Oil (Cannabidiol)
Hey there, I am looking for someone to educate me on the use of CBD oil in children. My son has struggled for a couple years now and has a fairly bad case of ADHD. I hate giving him concerta because it kills his appetite and makes him less social which is already an issue. He has high functioning autism

New here and welcoming help. :)
👋🏽 My 10-year-old son was diagnosed with AHDH about a year ago and started on Concerta about 4 months ago. The only thing I can say it has done is make my son not want to eat throughout the day. I was skeptical about it in the beginning because I honestly just want to learn more about my son and build

Guanfacine
Hi! My son began with concerta and it worked really bad. After that, the doctor recommended me to change to guanfacine. Anyone with the same experience? I hope this time works...

Augmentation? I'm guessing yes.
I'm new here and hope to contribute to and benefit from this site. Nighttime RLS started in 2010. My GP started me on Requip 1mg on 1/10/11. Worked for some months and then dosage was increased to Requip XL 2mg on 9/2/11. Worked very well for a couple of years and then worsening daytime and nightime

Prescription change
My 12 year daughter is currently taking concerta wondering if switching to adderal would make a big difference. I have done some research and they seem about the same. My daughter has more of the focus issue then hyperactivity. Has anyone else gone this route. Adderal is also a lot cheaper also.

Son’s 1st day on Quillivant
Brings me to October, when he was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed
Concerta
XL
. He never could swallow it and why this past week he was prescribed Quillivant XR 20 mg. He chose chewable over liquid.

Concerta and wide awake at night
Have you experienced this with your child when taking a Concerta? My 6 yr old has always went to bed at 7:30 and slept till 5:45-6am. Since he started Concerta this last weekend he can’t fall asleep and when he does he wakes up at 4am or sometimes earlier. Have you tried melatonin?? My sister in law

Teenage daughter ADD, ADHD, Biploar, Impulsive behavior
I have a 14 year old daughter that has been in my life now for 5 years. Therapy during the 5 years seem to work only while we’re in front of the therapist. She constantly breaks in rooms and steals. I walk around in our home like a janitor (keys on Hip) in order to go from room to room. I’m at my wits

Oh the guilt....
Today was our first day on medicine for my 5 year old. Sometimes when he doesn’t get something he wants, it turns into a full meltdown. Today he didn’t seem as hyper and he didn’t need TV all day to keep him entertained. However, 3 separate times he had a big meltdown due to not getting his way. It’

Medicine
This morning we started Concerta for my 5 and 1/2 year old adhd and very impulsive boy. Doctor says we should see results today or tomorrow. Any experience with a younger child on Concerta? I am full of emotions today... scared, guilty and optimistic.

Hello, new here
Hi. I wanted to introduce myself. I've got three children: a 12 year old with ADHD/LD, a 10 year old and an almost 8 year old. My 12 year old was diagnosed three years ago after he became violent and I realized that if he continued the way he was going for another 10 years, we'd be in big trouble

Minimal side effects?
We are in the process of finding the right medication for my 7 year old son recently diagnosed with ADHD. We tried Focalin and it made him very withdrawn and somewhat depressed. We are about to start Vyvanse so we'll see how that works. I'm very concerned about how these drugs affect a child's personality

My 8 year old granddaughter was prescribed a 30 mg dose of Vyvanse and experienced similar behavior changes after one dose. I stopped the drug and asked for a 10 mg dose after consulting with pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and nurses. When the prescriber would only decrease the dose to 20 mg, I
